Leaders vs Managers – Which are you?

On the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, I teach you how to increase your profits and enjoy your business more. In this episode, you’ll learn the differences between leadership and management.

Management and leadership are both important skills, but managing is a totally different skill set from leadership. You need both components in your business, whether you hold them within yourself or hire them on. When you don’t have both (and many of my clients don’t when they come to me), it can cause a ton of frustration and misunderstanding.

In this episode, you’ll be guided to understand your skills and roles as a leader and as a manager, and where you have gaps to fill to grow your skills in both areas.
